 ## Further Commentary
 
+### Burbidge
+
+John Burbidge's translation of _Dasein_ is _a being_, reasoning that _a being_
+is not the same as `being` since the former delimits the sense of the gerund,
+such that the former is "in some way more specific" (Burbidge 1981, 46). The
+task for the understanding is to distinguish the lack of determination in pure
+`being` from the determination in _a being_.
+
+The determination is not different from its being, Burbidge writes, as "the
+determination is rather the determinate way in which its being is present"
+(Burbidge 1981, 46). The determination also does not distinguish one being from
+another, since this would involve complexity that is not there in this
+indefinite sense of _a being_.

+### McTaggart
+
+John McTaggart translates _Dasein_ as _being determinate_. He views the opening
+section on _Dasein_, or `existence`, more as a heading of what is to come,
+noting that genuine difference and contrast as now possible. Furthermore, he
+notes the implications of this: "For whatever is anything must also not be
+something, and cannot be what it is not. It must therefore not be something else
+than what it is. And thus the reality of anything implies the reality of
+something else" (McTaggart 1910, 21). While this more precise differentiation is
+made explicit by quality, it is interesting to see intimations of categories
+involving one another in the nature of determinateness, even in its immediacy.
